Personal/ Professional Bio:

Passion for people has long been a companion of mine, and caring for them in a professional capacity makes my heart sing. It is in my DNA to find fulfillment in encouraging, challenging, and nurturing others. God designed me to walk alongside those who are hurting, and it is my great delight to do so. For me, counseling is one of those things in life that "just makes sense".

After receiving a Psychology major and Church Ministries/Bible minors from Clearwater Christian College, I earned my M.A. in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in Virginia. My training as a student and state-registered intern was done in Tampa, Florida where I got experience treating a variety of populations and concerns. Tampa is also the origin of my own venture into private practice.

Today, I continue to enjoy treating adolescents and adults as a licensed mental health counselor in Miami, FL. Currently, I primarily see clients across the states via teleconferencing and video sessions. In addition to counseling, I very much enjoy writing and speaking at workshops, conferences, and on the radio.

My specializations within the field of mental health have been developed through a combination of formal education, clinical experience, personal life experiences, and the experiences of those I love. I enjoy treating a wide range of issues, and have a great deal of patience with the slow and sometimes uncertain process of healing deep wounds. My approach to counseling addresses the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors that contribute to a person's overall functioning. I find that a comprehensive approach which acknowledges the multidimensional nature of people and relationships typically yields equally comprehensive results.
